NHL.com

After a day of turkey and stuffing, the NHL Network is offering hockey fans in the United States an evening of hockey.

The network will air Thursday's lone NHL contest, with the Colorado Avalanche visiting the Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place in a game that will get under way at 9 p.m. ET. The Oilers are coming home after splitting two games on the road, winning 4-2 at Anaheim on Sunday and losing 5-0 at Phoenix two nights later.

Fans in Canada aren't being left out -- they can see the game on RDS and TSN. All telecasts are in high definition.
